Drinking alcohol

During your time at university it can feel like there is a pressure to drink alcohol. If you don’t fancy drinking alcohol, that’s completely fine and you’re not alone.

If you or your friends are drinking alcohol, look out for each other. Don’t leave your drink unattended, and never accept a drink from a stranger or someone you don’t trust.

If you start to feel ill or drunk when you know you shouldn’t, your drink could have been spiked. If so, tell someone you trust and get to a safe place.

Plan your journey home

Always plan your journey home and stick with your friends. The Uni2 bus in Canterbury is a 24 hour service between the city centre and campus.

If you are getting a taxi make sure it is registered.

If you ever find yourself in an emergency situation where you need to take a taxi back to campus or to the police or hospital, you can use the student safe taxi scheme to get a registered taxi back to campus and pay the funds later.

Campus Security also offer a free walking taxi service on campus so you don’t need to walk alone.
